Photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) and therapy (PDT) are emerging, non/minimally invasive
techniques for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Both techniques require a photosensitizer …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a clinical treatment for cancer or non-neoplastic diseases,
and the photosensitizers (PSs) are crucial for PDT efficiency. The commonly used chemical …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) involves the combination of non-toxic dyes called
photosensitizers (PS) and harmless visible light that interact with ambient oxygen to give …

Light-mediated chemical reactions are powerful methods for manipulating and interrogating
biological systems. Photosensitizers, compounds that generate reactive oxygen species …

Light‐dependent singlet oxygen (1O2) produced in photodynamic therapy (PDT), is a
biologically compatible reactive oxygen species showing the potential to kill tumor cells with …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) applications are limited by the low penetration of UV–visible
light into biological tissues. Considering X-rays as an alternative to excite photosensitizers …

Flavin mononucleotide (FMN) belongs to the group of very efficient endogenous
photosensitizers producing singlet oxygen, 1O2, but with limited ability to be targeted. On the …

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) was demonstrated to be effective against
various species of Gram-positive bacteria. However, the complex structure of a Gram …

Singlet oxygen generated in a type II photodynamic action, due to its limited lifetime (1 μs)
and reactive distance (< 10 nm), could regulate live cell function nanoscopically. The …

Optogenetics is a cell-type specific and high spatial–temporal resolution method that
combines genetic encoding of light-sensitive proteins and optical manipulation techniques …
